[RTTY] BARTG HF Contest 2015 Preliminary Results

[Gary AL9A]

And I for one second all your points Peter.  I rather enjoy the BARTG time 
exchanges because it is something unique to this contest.  I also enjoy the 
Makrothen contests because of the unique grid square exchanges.  Again 
something different that keeps us on the edge of the chair and fully 
engaged.

73,

^^^^ Worth repeating.  ^^^^

If someone thinks a contest is too hard or unfair, then they should --
and this is radical, I know -- choose not to participate.  I don't
know other countries' regulations as well as the FCC's but in US rules
there are *no* requirements that operators participate in contests.
None.  Not one.
